DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Even with unseasonablty warm day-time temps near 80 on Monday, post-Thanksgiving weekend crowds were non-existent at the World's Moart Famous Beach at the start of a new work week.

There were were a scant few more people in the beach in New Smyrna than in Daytona, but certainly no traffic tie-ups or any difficulties finding a sport to park on the hard sands along stretches of the berach where motor vehicles are allowed.

In both locales, there were more people than cars in the vicinity of the ramps.
